«Cutting back for strength: fourth,
•cutting back to induce fruit or
Jto check excessive grow Lb. The
first three primings have to do
with the shape 'and only perform
•their purpose when done in the
winter. The fourth is a mid
summer or later pruning. Cut
tin g back for branches is the
most important of the four rea
sons, as by its practice the tree’ s
stature and shape is produced,
and the bearing-area established
■ and maintained. To huild a
heavy, substantial skeleton work
should be the primary object in
/pruning young trees. After the
second or third year’s growth,
'only the main branches or leaders

Winter pruning, and they are
fo u r and fine-half to six feet
high, from ten to twelve inches
should be cut off the top of each
to throw out laterals (or side
branches). Thecut of ten inches
•or more is necessary to get strong
■and upright branches from the
buds below the cuts.
■These laterals are part o f the
'permanent structure. Whenever
■the leatier has made over three
and one-half- feet additional
growth i! should be cut back to

repeated the third lime, with the
same three and one-half foot
space. The tree will be six or
'Seven years old before the three
series of laterals are well estab

This constitutes the
-skeleton work or supporting
’•wings, which should always
remain upright. As the tree is
■in full bearing at this time the
growth is small, and any limbs
above the third series laterals
are apt to bear before they re
quire size enough to be self-sup
porting,. However, if a larger
-tree is desired, the fourth anil
fifth lateralscan be produced by
keeping the fruit off the tops of
leaders and cutting back as for
■the first three series, except the
series may be three feet apart.
•A great deal of fruit may be
borne directly, and on small
twigs on the structure limbs, but
the real bearing area is on limbs
'-of the laterals or sub-laterals.
*)n most varieties these come out
naturally, hut cutting back in-
-sures their coming out, and they
■can be produced where and when
